Giles's love for subverting design tropes, drew him to explore new iterations of this Sanderson archive original. The archive itself houses a fine collection of mid-late nineteenth century Trompe-l'oeil wallpaper patterns, depicting curtains, bows, ribbons and tassels and here, Wilsford is cloaked in illusion. With a clever use of refined screens, from a distance, Wilsford has the appearance of beautifully draping fabric. Created using stylised flat colours, Wilsford suits the rotary printing technique and mimics the original document to staggering effect. Like an aged, hazy memory of a bygone period, perfectly preserved and dramatically beautiful, the design rejoices in decayed decadence, repurposed in a sumptuous, grand scale. Wilsford blooms like an old house, reborn, having found its way through time to be revealed in new beauty.
